I would have signed a plea years ago to avoid this disaster, but I was refused a plea as the State and the family refused to settle.

As we previously reported, prosecutors claim Arias, a waitress/photographer, brutally killed her former lover Travis Alexander in a jealous rage on June 4, 2008 by cutting his throat, stabbing him in the heart and shooting him in the head.
Arias said she was defending herself from Alexander, who had subjected her to bouts of domestic violence in their relationship.
She has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. If convicted, she could face the death penalty or life in prison.
The jury will continue its deliberations on Tuesday; stay with RadarOnline.com for up-to-the-minute details.
